No escaping the gynocracy. Although no one knows what a woman is. (Except of course born males who “transgender”. They must be called women.)
Yes, isn’t it ironic that our first black woman on the Supreme Court can’t define what a woman is?
But I’m sure she’ll take the credit for that “historic” accomplishment, anyway.
She’ll also take the credit for being the first black, too, since Clarence Thomas, being conservative, doesn’t count.
There was also Thurgood Marshall.
He probably wasn’t Marxist enough, either!
Theodore Dalrymple writes:
[Boris Johnson] has been by far the most clearsighted of Western European leaders on the war in Ukraine, though he might have been less so had Britain derived more of its energy from Russia. Still, irrespective of the reasons for it, he has been more supportive of Ukraine than any comparable leader, and that counts in his favor.
Unfortunately, all this pales into long-term insignificance by comparison with his economic profligacy, for which the bill is now coming due. Johnson’s government spent untold billions supporting people who needed no support—in part, of course, because it is generations since our bureaucracy has even tried to distinguish between the deserving and undeserving, even denying that such a distinction was to be made.
Having spent much of his career mocking the absurdities of extreme environmentalism, Johnson did an abrupt U-turn (under the influence of his wife, it is widely believed) and shackled the British economy with his net-zero carbon emissions policy, putting a halt to hydrocarbon prospection at precisely the worst moment in history to do so. The policy was ridiculous in the first place, a cowardly surrender to adolescent utopianism; and, thanks to Johnson, many more poor people may shiver to death in their homes next winter than might otherwise have done so if he had had the guts to face down this evident absurdity early in his premiership. In addition, Britons are supposedly to be converting to electric cars, though without the electricity to charge them.
In retrospect, Johnson did not deserve to be prime minister. The problem for Britain is that it isn’t clear that anyone else on the current scene does, either.
Comment:
Worth reading in full.
Unfortunately he has fallen for the COVID scamdemic:
while also having to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic
He needs to read my last article, I’ve posted a comment under the article.
I’m hearing that she voted for jab mandates, trying to find confirmation of this (source apparently was PJW).
Despite his great success with Covid vaccines, supporting Ukraine and leading us out of the EU
“We know now that factors like the job someone does, where they live, and how many people they live with, impacts how susceptible they are to the virus, and it’s imperative that those more at risk get their booster vaccine,” she said.
As far as I can figure out the same bill on vaccine passports was also for vaccine mandates for NHS workers as well.
She voted in favour 3 times on 14 December 2021:
To be fair she is trapped in a bubble with all the others, they don’t get time to think outside the bubble which is why we need radical change. The ones at the top know roughly what is really going on though, I’m pretty sure about that.
Awesome! An immigrant who puts the natives to shame.
Yes, hopefully she will find out whats going on.
Just to be really clear I was being kind to Badenoch making allowances but she voted for mandating the jab for doctors and nurses which puts her out totally as far as I’m concerned. There is no excuse for mandating jabs given all we know, and this vote took place in December 2021 so it was recent as well. I was making allowances for her ignorance but we can’t have an ignorant person running our country. All the candidates are tarnished heavily by one thing or another so far, the only hope is for some rank outsider to come in, I think the competition is still open.
It looks as though Mordaunt also voted for the jab mandates and jab passports (unsurprisingly given the above). 14 December 2021:
Thats too bad - she’d be a good one otherwise.
But that really is a deciding factor against her.
A better candidate rising?
No, see here:
with MP Tom Tugendhat suggesting that the unvaccinated could be banned from workplaces – if they refuse to get inoculated.
Anybody that was calling for mandatory jabs should be discounted without further ado.
Ah! Thanks for that, Chauncey.
So there is no one fit to lead Britain back to common sense polity?
I believe we are doomed to get another globalist puppet, Bob Moran’s jokey cartoon is actually very accurate. Even if someone hopeful steps forward they will be mercilessly destroyed by the media, it would take an individual with at least Trumpian levels of political acumen to succeed in this climate, and there is nobody at all close to that in the current parliament.
We’ve got to keep our eyes on the longer game in my view, and step 1 is to convince those even who get half the picture, like Theodore Dalrymple, that much more is going on. Unfortunately he seems to be one of those who “doesn’t read the comments”, which is a good way to stay blinkered.
Chaos everywhere.
